Title: Locating objects using images from portable devices
Inventor: BRIGGS SIMON ANDREW SATOSHI
IPC: H04N7/18
Filed: 2013-09-05
Abstract: A method and system for assisting in locating objects (for example remote controls, wallets, toys, books and mobile phones) using one or more images from remote devices characterised by initially capturing reference images of the object, then capturing one or more images via the remote devices. The captured remote images may contain the object to be located inclusive of context background 304. The one or more reference images are used to determine whether any of the one or more remote captured images includes the object 306 and if so they are stored and associated with the object 308. The devices may be time synchronised so that the latest of the one or more images may be identified. If the object is lost, the stored images on local and remote devices are reviewed 310 to determine its location. If the location is not determined, then an increasing number of remote devices may be reviewed to determine its location.

Title: Data processing device and method for interleaved storage of data elements
Inventor: HILL STEPHEN JOHN
IPC: G06F9/38
Filed: 2014-10-01
Abstract: Storage circuits store a plurality of data elements of the bits in an interleaved manner, for a consumer with a number of lanes. The consumer, such as an ALU or data processing element in a Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) architecture, is able to individually access each storage circuits in order to receive into the lanes 120 either a subset of data elements or y bits of data elements. The consumer 110 is also able to execute a common instruction of each lane 120. The relationship of the bits is such that b is an integer multiple greater than y. Each storage circuit stores at most y bits of each of the data elements. Each of the storage circuits stores at most y/b (such as 32/64 bit) of data elements. By carrying out the interleaving in this manner, the storage circuits 130, 160 comprise no more than b/y storage circuits, addressing latency of register bank access through batch or iterative handling of elements. A second consumer such as a floating point unit which accesses 512 bits in parallel as opposed to 1024 in the first consumer.

Title: Central control device and load balancing method thereof
Inventor: CHIH-HSIANG HO
IPC: H04W28/08
Filed: 2015-02-10
Abstract: A central control device 1 includes a network interface, a storage and a processor. The network interface is connected to a plurality of base stations B and receives and stores a load parameter from each base station. For each base station, the processor calculates a load indication according to the load parameter. The processor calculates a network load balancing indication according to a total number of base stations and the load indications. The processor determines the base stations that are overloaded based on the load indications and determines whether the network load balancing indication exceeds an allowable threshold. If so, an offload priority indication for each overloaded base station is calculated according to the load indication, a quantity of off-loadable resources of at least one neighbouring base station, a first weighting factor and a second weighting factor. The processor determines an offload order of the overloaded base stations according to the offload priority indications.

Title: Anti electric shock fire nozzle
Inventor: WILKINSON MARK
IPC: G01R19/155
Filed: 2015-06-01
Abstract: A fire fighting nozzle 10 to be connected to a pressurised fluid source such as a hose via connection means 40 and sealed with ring 42. The nozzle body 20 has a chamber 36 which houses a barrel 37 with at least one solid radial wall or vane 38 and at least one removed segment or aperture 39, and two end walls 31. The barrel rotates about an axle 32 inside the chamber, and is sealed by a door 33. In use, fluid flowing from the intake end at 40 causes the barrel to rotate between a first position allowing fluid to pass through the aperture, and a second position blocking the passage. This causes the fluid to intermittently pass through the body of the nozzle to exit in pulses via the outlet 30. An additional feature is a voltage detector, preferably an electrostatic voltmeter, for providing an aural or visual indication if the emitted fluid is in contact with a source of electricity. The disrupted flow of water and the voltage detector protect fire fighters against electric shocks.

Title: Broadcast audio retransmissions
Inventor: NEIL DAVID BAILEY
IPC: H04L1/08
Filed: 2015-06-22
Abstract: A broadcast device configured to broadcast audio streams according to a wireless communications protocol for playout at a plurality of remote devices. Each audio stream comprises audio data arranged in audio frames. The broadcast device is operable in a plurality of retransmission modes. The audio frames are rebroadcast more frequently in one retransmission mode than another. The broadcast device comprises controller which, for each audio stream: (i) selects a retransmission mode based on the audio source of the audio data of that audio stream; and (ii) selects an audio frame to be rebroadcast according to the selected retransmission mode. The remote devices are configured to receive a broadcast audio frame and to compare the playout time of the received frame to the playout times of previously received audio frames. If the playout time of the received frame corresponds to that of a previously received frame it is discarded. Conversely, if the playout time does not correspond then the audio data from the frame is stored and played back. The invention can be used in the distribution of audio data to speaker modules in a home entertainment system.
